I was taken by three gorgeous killers. Now, we’re crashing a wedding together. I only meant to return a turtle to its swampy home. Instead, I caught a gorgeous, tattooed stranger dumping a suspiciously heavy bag into the water… and he saw me. Two days later, a silver-fox billionaire with a voice like sin offers me cash, upfront… to “clean an unusual pet.” I show up thinking maybe it’s an iguana. It’s a baby alligator. In a marble bathtub. In a mansion. With three men watching me like I know what to do with it. Artur is the leader of the group.

Marriage can be murder. Rosemary Lillywhite can't wait for her brother, Frederick, and her best friend, Vera, to tie the knot. She's over the moon they've finally caved in and admitted their love for one another, but even more than that, she wants them out of her too-crowded townhouse! The long-awaited and excessively lavish country wedding is slated to take place in Pardington in one week's time, and when an ominous warning arrives, Rosemary is relieved she'll be out of harm's way. The only problem is that wherever she goes, murder isn't far behind.

During the five years Rosemary has lived next door to Dr. Redberry and his wife, they've barely exchanged more than occasional pleasantries. So when she starts hearing raised voices through the adjoining townhouse walls, she can only guess that their marriage is in trouble. It's none of Rosemary's business, so she pretends not to notice, but when she sees Mrs. Redberry sobbing uncontrollably she can't simply turn a blind eye.

Wir sind alles und nichts, unser Schicksal wird von den Sternen bestimmt und von den Mächten, die sich uns entgegenstellen, ausbalanciert. Der Schatten des falschen Königs legt sich dick wie Öl über das Königreich, das zu regieren wir geboren wurden. Niemand bleibt von seiner Dunkelheit unberührt. Unsere Kronen sind zum Greifen nah, wenn wir sie nur beanspruchen könnten.

Ellery Queen is persuaded to accompany an old friend and sculptor to his ancestral home when the latter arrives at Ellery's house covered in blood and unable to remember anything from the past few weeks. Once there, tensions erupt and foul play results in the murder of one of the household's members. Among the many transgressions Ellery will uncover are adultery, blackmail, and deceit.

In one of his earliest cases, Ellery Queen confronts a murder in blue blood. From the very beginning, the Khalkis case struck a somber note. It began, as was peculiarly harmonious in the light of what was to come, with the death of an old man. Georg Khalkis, internationally famous art dealer and collector, died of heart failure. After his funeral, his attorney found that the will was missing and immediately called in the district attorney. When Inspector Queen and his son, Ellery, are brought in to solve the mystery, Ellery mentions the one place they have not searched for the will: the coffin.

Trick I - The first thing to vanish is a worthless doorstop. Then, in the twinkling of an eye, goes its rich and elderly owner. And, for the grand finale, both reappear - each as dead as the other. Trick II - From the House of Darkness issues more bafflement. In total darkness and from a distance of 12 feet, four bullets are pumped within an inch of each other into a spectator's back - a feat utterly impossible to perform yet brazenly and undeniably done.

A card with the letter "J" on it appeared in Robert York's mail, and a day later he was dead. Then another card showed up, and Ellery Queen knew he was up against a brilliant killer who made a game of death by warning his victims. The only clue was the signature "Y" and Ellery had to find him and stop his remorseless vendetta before "Y" won his mad game.

His chum and his dog, Champ, are in on the hunt, and two heads and a keen nose are better than one. The boys remember something queer they noticed about a truck with a covered load that passed them on the road when they were going fishing.
